Old but not bad, that’s what I mean by vintage.
Blake’s 7, from the beginning
I just had to see the whole of Blake’s 7 again. I don’t know why, I just got it into my head that I really wanted to see it all again. So I’ve started right from episode 1 and my plan is to work my way through the lot.
After that I might even go on to listen to some of the newer Big Finish CD stories.
The Day The Earth Stood Still
The original and the best. Awesome film.
Star Trek: A piece of the action
One of my all time favourite episodes, it’s excellent and very unusual for Star Trek, but lots of fun. I’m really enjoying the re-runs of Star Trek. Apart from seeing lots of episodes that I love there’s also quite a few that I’ve never seen, or at least that I can’t remember.
The Trouble with Tribbles
One of the most famous Star Trek episodes. Yes, it’s funny, yes, it’s a bit silly, but it is a huge classic, and it can’t be ignored. After all, it inspired follow up episodes in the animated series and in the Deep Space 9.
It’s awesome.
The Eiger Sanction
I really love this film and caught it just the other night. Apart from being a great example of it’s genre I’m always amazed at the shots on the mountain and the fact that the actors did so much, if not all of it themselves.
A great film, simple story, beautifully uncluttered.
Star Trek: City on the edge of forever
A completely classic episode, and an excellent story too. This has to be one of my favourite episodes of all time, this and of course the excellent “Piece of the action”, but this one is famous for Joan Collins being the guest star, and she did a very good job of it too.
Even now it stands up well, or at least I think so anyway.
The T3 still works, Bhajis is still brilliant
It has to be said, often and loudly!
An unearthly child
I was amazed to find the original Doctor Who on Netflix, so I had to take a look as I think it’s been a very very long time since I saw the very first Doctor Who. It’s amazing to see it again, and especially to hear the music again and think of Delia Derbyshire’s work in making that real.
Actually, when you look at it the story’s very advanced for its time. Also, the inside of the original TARDIS was a lot bigger than in some of the iterations of the Doctor. Interesting stuff to watch.
The Menagerie (Star Trek: The Original Series)
I recently watched The Menagerie (Star Trek: The Original Series). I’m sure I’ve seen it before, but it’s great to see it again, an interesting way of using the original first pilot episode in the actual series. I know it’s old, but it’s a good story and it has some interesting ideas too.
I have to say I’m enjoying seeing these old episodes again.
